Jarrod Bowen marked his 200th Premier League appearance by scoring for the fourth game in a row as West Ham beat relegated Ipswich Town at Portman Road.

The Hammers captain had a hand in his side's 43rd-minute opener, latching on to a poor back- by Sam Morsy to set up James Ward-Prowse for his first goal of the season.

Nathan Broadhead levelled for Town seven minutes after the restart, but Bowen restored West Ham's lead with a fierce left-footed shot.

Mohammed Kudus sealed the success with a superb finish three minutes from time, leaving West Ham in 14th place, while Ipswich finished second from bottom.

It was a ninth successive defeat at Portman Road for Town to extend their longest home losing streak, and matching the mark of the two other relegated sides, Southampton and Leicester City.

The Tractor Boys' leading scorer Liam Delap, given permission to talk to other clubs by manager Kieran McKenna, made a brief substitute appearance on what could be his last appearance for the club.

Ipswich were marginally the better side in a lacklustre start and Broadhead forced recalled 40-year-old Hammers goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski into action with a curling effort.

That prompted a strong response from Graham Potter's side, with Niclas Fullkrug then Bowen drawing saves from Ipswich keeper Christian Walton, who started the match after Alex Palmer was taken ill during the warm-up.

Morsy's poor , which allowed Bowen to put Ward-Prowse in for his first goal in 12 months, summed up the defensive woes that mean Ipswich will make an instant return to the Championship.

They gave their long-suffering fans hope when a poor clearance from Fabianski and a bad touch from Fullkrug allowed Broadhead the chance to burst forward and fire home the leveller.

However, Bowen's slick exchanges with Ward-Prowse and Aaron Wan-Bissaka gave the 28-year-old England international the chance for his 13th league goal of the season, hammered inside Walton's left-hand post.

Kudus grabbed his fifth of the campaign to round off the scoring, although there was still time for Omari Hutchinson and Jack Clarke to go close for the spirited hosts.

Ex-Ipswich defender Aaron Cresswell, set to leave West Ham this summer when his contract ends, was given an ovation by both sets of fans when he appeared off the bench at the start of stoppage time.

While Ipswich must contemplate life back in the second tier, almost certainly without Delap following his 12-goal return, a squad rebuild over the summer seems on the cards too for Potter following a below-par season for the Hammers.
